Airport Construction Update:

Terminal 2 Roadway Temporary Detour

Beginning at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, May 18, through Saturday, May 19, at 9 a.m., the roadway in front of Terminal 2 will be rerouted to allow for the installation of two pedestrian sky bridges.

Activity is anticipated to last one night. However, if necessary, the detour will resume on Saturday, May 19, at 11:30 p.m. through Sunday, May 20, at 9 a.m.

The two new pedestrian sky bridges will connect the dual-level roadway to the terminal. They will open when The Green Build is complete in 2013.

Pedestrian Bridge Fun Facts:

Each pedestrian bridge is more than 100 feet long

The weight of one pedestrian bridge is equal to about 48 Cessnas or one empty 787 Dreamliner

Installation of each bridge will take 90 minutes from the time the crane picks up the bridge

100 percent of the steel for these bridges was made in the USA

Travelers are reminded to plan ahead and allow extra time as it may take longer than usual to get to the terminal, check in and/or pick up passengers at the airport as a result of The Green Build construction.

The Green Build will bring a number of long-awaited upgrades to passengers
traveling in and out of San Diego International Airport. As the largest
improvement project in the airport's history, The Green Build will help meet
the airport's current and future demand for travel, while improving customer
service and serving as an economic stimulus for the San Diego region.
Improvements include 10 new gates, a dual-level roadway in front of
Terminal 2 to separate arriving and departing passengers and reduce curb front
congestion, more security lanes, expanded waiting areas and more shopping and
dining options. The Green Build, a $1 billion project, will create 1,000 jobs
at peak construction. Travelers can expect to take advantage of the finished
facilities in 2013.

The Green Build means big
opportunities for local small, disadvantaged, minority or woman-owned and
disabled veteran businesses in the San Diego region. Learn more
